How to Run the Identity Check Independently

When and why to use this feature

If your main priority is detecting fake applicants, you can run the Identity Check independently — without setting up a full criteria-based analysis. This allows you to use your credits efficiently and focus only on what matters most at that stage of your hiring process.

FAQs

General questions about the Identity Check

Do I need to set up evaluation criteria to run the Identity Check?

No. You can enable the Identity Check without defining any criteria. The criteria-based analysis will simply not run, and candidates will only be screened for identity risk.

Will the Identity Check run automatically on new applicants?

Yes. Once you enable automatic Identity Check for a job, every new candidate that applies will be brought into Brainner and screened automatically.

Does running the Identity Check consume credits?

Yes. Each Identity Check consumes 1 credit per candidate, regardless of whether the criteria-based analysis runs or not.

Can I filter candidates based on Identity Check results?

Yes. Once the Identity Check runs, you can use the Identity Check filter and sub-filters in the candidates tab to sort and review candidates by their risk level and specific flags.

What can I do with candidates after the Identity Check runs?

You can review candidates directly in Brainner and move them forward or reject them — any decision you take will automatically sync back to your ATS, keeping your pipeline up to date without leaving the platform.
